DIO's World: Kakyoin - The Duel in the Web (DIO(ディオ)の世界 花京院 結界の死闘, DIO no Sekai: Kakyōin: Kekkai no Shitō) is the twelfth episode of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVA. It adapts Chapter 250 through Chapter 256 of the manga.

While Polnareff and Jotaro recover, DIO chases Joseph and Kakyoin as they drive through Cairo, his Stand's true nature still unknown to them. The two come up with a plan to make DIO reveal his own ability, but Kakyoin is mortally wounded in the process. Joseph, now at a disadvantage, must stay alive long enough to relay Kakyoin's final message to his allies.

Summary

Night has fallen on Cairo. Joseph and Kakyoin drive through the streets of Cairo, ignorant of Jotaro or Polnareff's location. They discuss the incomprehensible power of DIO's Stand and Joseph expects DIO to come for him soon. Sure enough, DIO hijacks a car and forces Wilson Phillips, an American senator and owner of the car, to drive it.

Meanwhile, Jotaro has splintered his broken rib and is confused by DIO's power. Nonetheless, he is determined to fight the Vampire. DIO and Philips eventually catch up to Joseph's truck. Kakyoin sends Hierophant Green out to attack DIO but he easily resists the Emerald Splashes. DIO summons his Stand, The World who sends Hierophant flying with a single punch. Thankfully, Joseph speeds through train tracks, making DIO crash into a train, the Vampire is still unscathed.

During this reprieve, Kakyoin says that The World is very similar to Star Platinum but is still confused by it. The corpse of Wilson Philips then flies into the truck, making it crash. Joseph and Kakyoin must then flee on the rooftops. Nonetheless, Kakyoin has an idea to force DIO to reveal his power. After pursuing Joseph for a while, DIO finds himself surrounded by strings made of Hierophant Green shooting emeralds from all direction. When Kakyoin performs his all-out attack, DIO uses The World to stop time. That way he easily evades the projectiles, cuts through the barrier and punches the man in the stomach.

Kakyoin is sent flying into a water tank. Agonizing from his wound, Kakyoin understands the power of The World and due to his wounds, is forced to tip Joseph by destroying a clock tower. Kakyoin subsequently dies. While he flees, Joseph finally understands Kakyoin's message and also guesses that DIO cannot stop time for long but DIO attacks and makes him fall. Joseph incidentally meets Jotaro but DIO stops time and sends a knife into Joseph's throat. As he heals his ancient wounds, DIO's time stop increases in length. Angered, Jotaro advances to fight the Joestar Family's archnemesis.

Manga/OVA Differences

  • Polnareff and Jotaro remain separated from the battle with DIO, and consequently their scenes together are omitted.
  • Kakyoin discussing his recovered wounds occurs as he and Joseph are driving, rather than prior to entering DIO's mansion.
  • Rather than approaching Phillips's stopped car, DIO totals the car's front as it seemingly runs into him.
  • When DIO first asks Phillips to drive, he points out that his driver has been knocked out and offers him money to catch a taxi.
  • An original scene sees Jotaro bandaging his wounds from DIO's first attack, wondering how he managed to survive, and pondering the similarity between DIO's Stand and his own.
  • Joseph warns Kakyoin against using Emerald Splash to attack DIO a third time, but he ignores the warning.
  • Phillips's car explodes in a head-on collision with a train that Joseph and Kakyoin narrowly avoid.
  • After Phillips's car crashes, Kakyoin theorizes that DIO's ability might involve teleportation of some kind.
  • Kakyoin's flashback to his lonely youth is omitted.
  • The sequence where DIO pursues Joseph and Kakyoin is extended, with Joseph using Hermit Purple to destablize a building that DIO crashes into.
  • The confrontation between DIO and Kakyoin is extended. Kakyoin expresses his resolve to never fall to fear again during the conversation, rather than during the battle against Telence T. D'Arby.
  • DIO deflects Kakyoin's 20-Meter Radius Emerald Splash before summoning The World.
  • The time of Kakyoin's death is changed from 5:15 to 7:00, though he still says it is around midnight in Japan.
  • Before thinking about DIO's Stand, Kakyoin thanks Jotaro and the others for allowing him to overcome his fear.
  • Jotaro reaches the site of Joseph and DIO's battle on a motorcycle, rather than on foot.
  • DIO kills Joseph with three seconds of time-stop to spare, rather than only one as in the original story.

Trivia

OVAJoseph&KakHop.png
  • Various signs throughout the episode bear the names and logos of real-world brands, an intentional risk taken by A.P.P.P. to provide authenticity to the world of JoJo.
  • The French dub changes the dialogue when Joseph and Kakyoin are trying to figure out the secret of The World after the car chase. Instead of suggesting that DIO possesses some kind of teleportation ability, Kakyoin suggests that DIO is teleporting to a parallel dimension by opening a rift in time. He is also a lot more confident in his suggestion than in the original Japanese dialogue.
